The First 2009 Walleye Tournament in Washington is now over. The "Rod Meseberg Spring Walleye Classic" was well attended and brought in some very nice fish. Mardon Resort, Valley Marine, Ranger Boats and the Spokane Walleye Club really did a fantastic job putting this tournament together. They also did a great job with the release of the fish. 415 fish were caught and all but 2 were were successfully released.

The tournament contained a great deal of drama with the weather providing a real challenge to the field on the first day. The first day started out calm but ended with some very nasty weather and 3 foot waves. There were quite a few zeros in the first day but considering the weather conditions, the field did a great job hauling the fish in with some very nice fish caught. The biggest comback from the first day was Gary Miller who moved from 80th place to 36th place. Wow!!

The second day provided much nicer weather which the field took full advantage of by bringing in quite a few nice fish. Many teams that zeroed out on the first day were able bring their standings up by weighing in limits and large fish on the second day.Still Shots found below.
